A hat trick from Brendan Leipsic and a goal and an assist from William Nylander sent the Marlies to a vital 7-4 win over the Adirondack Flames last night.
The current playoff situation with six games to go:
Wednesday Links:
- Mark Zwolinski: Five head coaching candidates for Maple Leafs (Toronto Star)
In an ideal world, Babcock would change scenery, opt out of resigning with Detroit, then break the bank with his coaching salary in Toronto and set a new pay bar for NHL coaches. It’s the scenario that everyone is talking about in Toronto. Not Babcock, though.
I - Stephen Whyno: David Booth finds success amid team’s dysfunction (National Post)
Booth has arguably been the Leafs’ best player since the deadline with six goals and two assists. He’s played well enough to earn himself another NHL contract, whether it’s in Toronto or elsewhere.
I - Mark Masters: Leafs Week – Year End Assessment (TSN)
In this edition of Leafs Week, Jonas Siegel and Mark Masters share their thoughts on who the best and worst players were this year for Toronto, the biggest question mark on the roster and more.
I - Katie Flynn: The Leafs can’t win or lose properly, and it’s not their fault (PPP)
The Maple Leafs have an issue with taking the path of least resistance. October was a .500 month, November was a 7-4-2 month including the 6-2 loss to Buffalo and 9-2 loss to Nashville. December (6-6-3) was the beginning of the end. The hope that existed quickly disintegrated and festered into anger. A mediocre team will get you a mediocre draft pick and leaves you in the mushy middle moving forward.
I - Lineup Notes vs. Columbus:
Leafs will start Reimer tomorrow and Bernier on Saturday against Montreal to finish the season.
